Led by the University of Melbourne, a team of engineers, chemists, and mathematicians have been gathered to study bubbles, specifically how they collide. This was before impossible, but with advances in facilities and microscopes it is now possible. The team believes this will affect many different areas of life, like in food (ice cream), water [...]

In China, scientists were able to build a device that simulated the effects of a black hole, being able to absorb and trap microwaves.  This was created with 60 concentric layers of copper coated meta-materials. It traps the microwaves using patterns of resonant and non resonant meta-materials. They are able to spiral the radiation inward [...]

A device is being developed that may be able to convert sound into light at a frequency that can find cancer spots before they are visibly detectable.  These light waves reflect off of explosives and other weapons in order to make them known.  Read more here. When you combine two semiconductors into a crystal and [...]

Members of Congress are discussing alternative energy sources that can be used to reduce our dependence on imported items such as oil. They have recently been pushing changes due to the problems of cave-ins at coal mines and oil spills. Researchers have been looking into a new type of energy that can be made by [...]
